Momentary Distractions (2011)
Project Statement Daliah Touré The photo essay that opens this book documents an improvised journey through a Leeds district in July 2011. Six individuals move as a non- hierarchical ensemble through the urban landscape and explore the path stimulated by their senses, their curiosity, and their sense of camaraderie. They form a ‘collective body’ and try to detach from their desire to lead, make choices, and actively compose, suspending their conventional understanding of where one body ends and another begins. The emergent moments reveal the fluid nature of decision making, enabling the individuals to reside between their need for emancipation and the pull towards being part of an entity. The shift between these states is what draws the journey forward, creates a sense of tension, and lets ideas unfold, expand, and merge. Momentary Distractions (2011) was part of DownTownDance, a project funded by the University of Leeds through the School of Performance and Cultural Industries directed by Fiona Bannon in partnership with Yorkshire Dance.
